Interesting!
I will post some close-up shots of the crusty bits tomorrow.
Lots of surface rust and the mudguards are the trick bit, but I've welded lots of tricky bits in my years.
will try to rescue them before simply buy sone new ones (from India?)
Getting a chrome finish is going to be the hardest, but i don't want to pay for the parts to get plated which will cost in time and money.
Some paints claim a chrome finish, so will experiment, but will also get a local quote to strip and chrome the original parts and see what is what..
